[POWERPC] Fix xmon=off and cleanup xmon initialisation

2006-10-04T04:52:22+00:00

My patch to make the early xmon logic work with earlier early param
parsing (480f6f35a149802a94ad5c1a2673ed6ec8d2c158) breaks xmon=off.

No one does this obviously as xmon rocks, but it should really work
as documented.

While fixing that it struck me that we could move the xmon param
handling into xmon.c, and also consolidate the
xmon_init()/do_early_xmon logic into xmon_setup(). This means
xmon=early drops into xmon a little earlier on 32-bit, but it
seems to work just fine.

Tested on PSERIES and CLASSIC32.

[POWERPC] Define of_read_ulong helper

2006-09-20T05:09:48+00:00

There are various places where we want to extract an unsigned long
value from a device-tree property that can be 1 or 2 cells in length.
This replaces some open-coded calculations, and one place where we
assumed without checking that properties were the length we wanted,
with a little of_read_ulong() helper.

[POWERPC] print backtrace when entering xmon

2006-09-13T08:39:53+00:00

xmon does not print a backtrace per default. This is bad on systems with
USB keyboard, the most needed info about the crash is lost.
print a backtrace during the very first xmon entry.

Booting with xmon=nobt disables the autobacktrace functionality.

[POWERPC] Constify & voidify get_property()

2006-07-31T05:55:04+00:00

Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

powerpc core changes.

[PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h

2006-07-10T20:24:16+00:00

screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
included by tty.h.  This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
directly include screen_info.h.  struct screen_info is mainly used to
communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console.  Note that this
patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it.  If there is a
mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

[PATCH] powerpc: Make early xmon logic immune to location of early parsing

2006-05-19T05:02:12+00:00

Currently early_xmon() calls directly into debugger() if xmon=early is passed.
This ties the invocation of early xmon to the location of parse_early_param(),
which might change.

Tested on P5 LPAR and F50.

powerpc: provide ppc_md.panic() for both ppc32 & ppc64

2006-05-05T05:02:08+00:00

Allow boards to provide a panic callback on ppc32.  Moved the code to sets
this up into setup-common.c so its shared between ppc32 & ppc64.  Also moved
do_init_bootmem prototype into setup.h.

[PATCH] powerpc: Use check_legacy_ioport() on ppc32 too.

2006-04-28T11:04:55+00:00

Some people report that we die on some Macs when we are expecting to
catch machine checks after poking at some random I/O address. I'd seen
it happen on my dual G4 with serial ports until we fixed those to use
OF, but now other users are reporting it with i8042.

This expands the use of check_legacy_ioport() to avoid that situation
even on 32-bit kernels.
